Belter

The Belters are a race of humanoids from the Asteroid Belt of the Sol system.

Features
The Belters are an interesting alien race. Firstly, they live on asteroids in an asteroid belt. Their cities are shielded from space (and they breath an Earth like atmosphere). Secondly, the Belters were the first species in the Sol system to create FTL drives. Their asteroid-borne cities are filled with residential apartments, markets ready to sell micellanious items, and fields for many animals to graze upon. There are (of course,) also space ports for incoming starships.

The Belters are a short species, adults usually around four or five feet tall. Their skin color ranges from brown to albino, and on their faces are three sets of ridges, each set containing three ridges. Otherwise they look exactly like humans. They are more physically fit than humans and are easily able to overpower one.

The Belters are a peaceful species that spend a great deal of their space travel on exploration and have a passion of curiosity, much like humans.

History
At least 12,000 years ago the Belters invented FTLdrives, thus earning the title of the first race of the Sol system to create such a device. As this propullsion method grew more common throughout their race, such as being installed into personal spacecraft, the Belters' capacity  for curiosity grew. Soon they had colonised many star systems in the Orion/cygnus spiral arm of the galaxy.

A popular Belter phrase is "It is not exploring should you know what is to happen."
